Valentine's List were given to the students today! I encourage the children to pass out Valentines. Please remember that your child should give a Valentine to each student in the class.
We are not giving Valentines to other students in 5th grade, just our homeroom.
Candy Valentines ARE allowed, however the students will keep the candy to be enjoyed at home.
VALENTINE'S PARTY is Tuesday, February 14th!
I appreciate all the parent helpers that are preparing for our classroom party!
